ok guys what am i missing
i cant get the mapper to work
any one have an idea
 
I'm pretty keen to buy VDJ Pro for my Mixdeck Quad when it finally works with 4 decks and in full MIDI mode. :)

It's interesting to note that when the Mixdeck Quad was first announced last year it was meant to come with a four deck VDJ or two deck Tr***or depending on the country.
 
Any controller can be mapped to control 4 decks so I guess all's that is for you to get that credit card out, lol!!
 
Ok, so I have added the Mixer section, sorry it took so long. But what I did not do is map the unit for 4 decks. And let me explain -

The USB Audio device is only built for 2 Outputs. I know that when you look at the WDM driver options it has 1&2,3&4,5&6, and 7&8. But if you look at the Mixdeck Source toggles the only options are USB1 on physical fader channels 1 & 2 with USB2 on channels 3 & 4. So, really there are only 2 audio outputs from the built-in audio device. So, this mapping as the OFFICIAL VirtualDJ mapping will stay a 2 Deck mapping.

So, as a 2 Deck mapping:

Physical Decks - Left is VirtualDJ Deck 1 and Right is VirtualDJ Deck 2

Physical Channels - Channel 2 is VirtualDJ Deck 1 and Channel 3 is VirtualDJ Deck 2
~~~ This is consistent with all 4 channel mixer controllers that we have mapped where the mixer supports 4 decks.

Some Mixer notes -

* Since the Master Output is a hardware level control and very strong - VirtualDJ's Master Output is reduced to 50% in the ONINIT mapping. If you think your MAX level is not strong enough, you can either remove the mappiing in the ONINIT or I recommend you remap the Booth knob to control VirtualDJ's Master Volume (master_volume).

* Headphone (Cue Gain) Volume - The Headphone Gain in VirtualDJ is set to a -4db level in the ONINIT of the mapping. Again, like the Master Volume, since the MixDeck is very strong in it's internal output - I did this to help avoid potential ear damage if the gain is turned to high. If you are that deaf and still can't hear well then you could remove the script from the ONINIT - but I DO NOT recommend it.

* The Source toggle switches - When toggled to one of the other options, VirtualDJ's corresponding Deck is muted and EQ/Gain/PFL are disabled.

* CFAssign toggles - they are not mapped because they manipulate the volume fader/crossfader control at the hardware level

* Gain knob will change VirtualDJ's gain for the respective channels - please note that hardware Gain is also being changed.

* EQ and Volume faders use VirtualDJ's 'fake' VDJscript actions since the EQ and Volume are being changed at the hardwarer level.


About 4 deck mapping - I can help; as well as others on the forum, to get you to a 4 deck scenario. But enlight of the hardware limitations I mentioned above - this controller is not really designed for 4 deck control.

Hi Chris
i wanna thank you for the up grade in the quad 4 mapping but pardon my ignorance although the crossfader and volumes are working. The stop pause play and sink pich does not seam to work is it something that i'm doing wrong ? let me know Thanks
 
Sorry to sound blunt :) -- But, did you put the decks in MIDI mode ? Because that would be the only reason they aren't working.
 
don't be sorry i am an idiot i was just use to the older controllers
every thing is perfect and it works grate i think its going to be one of the best controllers around

thanks for your help and hard work

Thanks Chris for the Mixdeck Quad Map! I have a quick question, I dont use the crossfader to mix and my mixer sliders dont blackout the video when they are down. Do I have a setting wrong or something?

Thanks again,

Dave
 
Go into your config and under the video tab you'll see "fade to black with volume sliders" or something like that. Check that box and your good to go.
 
If vdj software is assigned to work on mixdeck quad chan 2&3, what will happen if you have Algoriddim's Djay software for Ipad which is assigned to work on Mixdeck's quad chan2&3? Also, when I installed the latest version of mixdeck quad mapper, I noticed that the sound gets lost at the very end of the crossfader control on both left and right side. The sound is back after I move the fader control 1 line from the very end on each side.

Iam using vdj pro 7 on an HP laptop with quad cpu and O/S win 7 premium home edition. I appreciate any info regarding this matter.

Thanks,

Hello

I am having the exact same problem as above, when the crossfader is pulled fully to the left/right the sound/music is muted ? this should not happen, please can this be addressed/fixed.

Thank you
 
What is the position of the CF Mode on the front of the unit? Sounds like it is set to 'Reverse'.

It's on normal. I tried switching it but same effect. I also tried to go back and re- install your first version and it's fine. Meaning crossfader acts normally even if pulled towards extreme both ends(left & right).

Thanks for the quick response.

Ok, on the skin; where is the crossfader position when the crossfader is full left on the MixDeck?

What happens when you change the Crossfader mapping to just "video_crossfader" ?

On the skin, when mixdeck quad fader is full left, skin is also full left. As for separating the audio from the video crossader, I don't know how to do that but, you can guide me if you don't mind.

I did experimenting with video music. I found out that if for instance it is loaded to deck 1 of skin, extreme left of fader only mutes sound but not video. pulling fader to extreme right wiill eliiminate audio and video after passing last line on right of fader. As I try to move slider to right, I noticed that audio gets loudest at midpoint then gradually decreases up to the last line before extreme right. Video stays with music then both disappear at extreme right. Sound should be loudest at extreme left then gradually decreases when moved to wards extreme right. If I play audio on right (slider on right but not past last line) I can also hear left channel at master volume out if it's playing(all headphone buttons off). In other words, music is already mixing from right to left even if slider is still on right. I am also sure that crossfader is switched to normal. I also tried re-booting PC and mixdeck quad (off/on).

Thank you CSTOLL for taking care of this matter. I am confident that you have a solution for all concerned. As far as the Algoriddim DJay software being assigned to mixdeck quad's channels 2&3 maybe, you could also give me an answer to it next time....

Now i am confused !!

I have installed the latest mapping and :

1, The crossfader when fully to the left or right mutes the music ??? this should not be the case

2, The virtual decks in MIDI mode through VDJ Pro 7 are reversed ??? The left deck on the unit is showing as player 2 in VDJ and vice versa ???

What is going on with this mapping malarky ???

Thank you
 
Hit "Eject" on one of the decks..

What is that all about ?? why does it do it in the first place and how did you find out how to solve the reverse decks issue ?

Thank you

p.s. nOw just need to rectify the cross-fader issue [At the moment, renders the unit useless for cross-fading/mixing :( ]
 
have you tried the physical crossfader reverse switch on the mixdeck? that is the first thing I would have tried...

next is mapping

param_invert & crossfader

next is

crossfader & param_invert & video_crossfader

then

video_crossfader & param_invert & crossfader

if you only want the video crossfader to work use fake_crossfader instead, you should also make sure your video crossfader is unlinked with the padlock on the video mixer pannel of the default skin, or mapping a key with video_crossfader_link off

Good luck

Yes i have tried the physical switch, and the rest you have posted means nothing to me ?? [Tumble weed lol]...

All i know is that with the old mapping it woked fine and now with this new one it does not ?
